Info
This is how we test your MacBook and iMac hard drive health. 8 out of 10 clients never back up their data, this is a very worrying statistic! Hard drive failure is very common even in a new Mac.
Once the hard drive has failed, you cannot copy and back up your data so it is very important to always have your data backup.
Why hard drives can failed?
Hard drive failure can be caused by a few things, tear and wear, short circuit, chipset malfunction or damage because of contact from water spillage.
So try not to have the mindset that the Mac is still new so it won’t spoil or it has been working well for a long time so everything will remain ok.
Data recovery is very expensive and time-consuming, so it is better not to go through that route.
Ways to backup your Mac
Now it is very convenient and easy to back up your Mac. You can use the conventional way of an external hard drive to copy and paste your data or use Time Machine to backup the whole Mac including all the data and system into an external drive.
But if you are lazy (or always forget) to back up using the external drive you can use the cloud system to back up your Mac.
Their pricing now is super reasonable and very convenient, whenever there is an internet connection the cloud system will automatically back up the Mac.
The most common cloud system most Apple users use is iCloud. Standard Apple only provides 5GB storage, you can subscribe for more storage space.
Current Apple pricing for iCloud is 50GB at RM3.90 per month, 200GB at RM11.90 per month and 2TB at RM39.90 per month.
Another common cloud storage provider you can try is Google Drive. The benefit of Google Drive is you can download the Google Drive application on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows while the iCloud application can only be installed on Apple devices.
Current pricing for Google Drive is as follows : 100GB at RM8.49, 200GB at RM11.99 per month and 2TB at MR42.99 per month.
